Hi, Daniel!
This sounds very interesting. Is this date/time-manipulation code
publically available?
I think a comfortable, complete date/time-manipulation is one thing that
Scheme is sorely lacking. We have SRFI-19, but it is a bit unwieldy and
not very complete. (how, for example, do you convert a given time in a
zone to another zone? How do you go back a month? etc)
Cheers,
Peter
